L.A. Castle Studios’ beautiful facility, amazing technology, the latest equipment, and friendly and knowledgeable staff are what you need for your next production. A day rental includes shooting with our full 4K virtual system powered by the Unreal video game engine, crew of five, and access to dressing rooms, makeup rooms, green rooms, writers’ rooms', conference rooms, and the rest of our gorgeous studio building. With our 4K cinema virtual technology, your production can take place anywhere in the universe, past, present, or future, with complete reality.

Save hundreds of thousands of dollars on set construction costs alone. In fact, our set designer also designs sets for NBC, CNBC, and CNN, as well as many other network productions and feature films, so your productions will be stunning, whether you use one of our gorgeous library sets, or have a custom set created just for you.

We can even make your production appear to take place "on-location", with full camera movement, and complete photorealism, from a crowded restaurant, a lonely desert highway, Times Square, outer space -- anywhere you can dream, with true-to-life automatically adjusting 35 mm depth of field. And with live green screen compositing, you'll eliminate surprises, and save thousands in post production costs too.

Our clients include some of the biggest entertainment and media companies in the world, including Disney, CBS, NHK (Japan), BBC, Relativity Media, Viacom (MTV and Spike), CW, NBC, and many others.

We have been in the industry since 2008.
